I could read the headers and trailers of each of the sections but not the PDFs themselves. When I found the trailer for the rpm file, I just backed it up and gave the tape to zLinux and dded the rpm. Since then I've been told by a couple of people to look at the Dignus Systems/ASM product for zTPF builds. The README file from IBM (when I finally received it) had JCL samples for IBGENER. Betsie

What format was the tape in? Tar, cpio, something else?

I did MOVEFILE on VM until I found the correct file on the tape; moved the drive to zLinux and ran dd. Used the Device Driver manual for sample commands. Appreciate your suggestion. BTW, it's mt_st rather than mt-st.

To control the drive (rewind, etc.) you'll need the mt-st package. Other than that, I would try "dd"ing a megabyte or so down to disk and doing a "file" command on it to see what you've got.
